Mrs. Carrie Woodward, daughter of Frank and Livona Smith, was born in Washington township, Henry county, O., on Dec. 27, 1869, and departed this life Aug. 29, 1952, at the Rhoads nursing home in Delta after a lingering illness of almost eight years.

On Dec. 24, 1901, she was united tn marriage with Edwin Woodward, and to this union were born two children, a son, Draper, and a daughter, Helen, who died in 1934. Mr. Woodward passed away in 1935.

Mrs. Woodward and her husband started housekeeping in Liberty township and there they spent their entire married life. Mrs. Woodward’s health began to fail about eight years ago and since that time she had been under the care of others, part of the time at her own home, at the Overmier convalescent home in Liberty Center, and at the Rhoads nursing home in Delta.

She is survived by the son, Draper, at the home farm; one brother, Clifford Smith, and sister, Mrs. Gertie Overmier, both of Liberty Center. A number of other relatives survive.

Death came to her in her 83rd year of life.
